Hi all!
I am new and wanting to know if someone can tell me about this little cup and saucer I have?
They are quite different, look to be hand painted maybe Japanese?
The saucer has a mark on bottom but the cup is blank and when held to the light is a portrait in the bottom. I was told was so the “emperor” would always see his wife.
I will upload some pics and thanks for any info!

There are many different types of these lithopane cups !! The one above was on dragonware !! Also known as Geisha cups !! It is not the Emperors wife !!
Check the size of your pic !! About 30kb works well here !! Or just post them to www.photobucket.com and post a link to that page !!
